Legendary Berlin Techno Club Closes

With one last thunderous, three-day, non-stop party Berlin's most famous techno music club, Tresor, will close its doors after 14 years.

The club was situated on the city's former divide, right next to where the Berlin Wall stood and made its mark in the early years of German unification.

1. All good raves must come to an end...

Best of luck to Tresor in finding a new home and keeping the music alive.
